I'll bet your bro was pumped. When you don't have much time, just getting a buck on the ground is a huge accomplishment, and gives you an awesome feeling. So did you guys have to drag him far? I don't know what caliber of rifle he was using, but it seems like a lot of guys are going to the .300's, ultra mag'sand 7mm's, which will all get your ears ringing. I hunt with a .300 Weatherby, and I'd swear that gun takes 3 years off of my hearing every time I shoot it.

Speaking of loud, my buddy got a pistol this spring, and we went out and shot it not too long ago. Jiminy Christmas, have you guys ever seen or shot one of those S&W .500 Magnums? It makes you go deaf for three days, and knocks you a at least a step backward when it goes off. Good grief, I shot that thing a couple timesbefore I waved the white flag.

Ryan, I know you're into pistols - you've gotta see one of these things. I thought it was a joke or some kind ofpaintball gun or a toywhen he first pulled it out.
